Discovering NYC IVF felt like a true blessing. Switching to this clinic has been one of the best decisions my husband and I have ever made, and we couldnt be more thankful. After a year and a half of trying to conceive and enduring multiple miscarriages, we were disheartened. But from the moment we walked into NYC IVF, we knew we were in the right place. The team radiates compassion and optimism, offering personalized care that meets our unique needs.Dr. Elassar is outstanding—her expertise, direct approach, and genuine compassion shine through at every appointment. She takes the time to answer all our questions, making us feel truly supported. As remarkable as Dr. Elassar is, her entire team is equally exceptional. From the nurses to the front desk and the billing department, everyone has gone above and beyond to ensure that each step of our journey is smooth and stress-free. They have truly helped lift the burden from an otherwise challenging process.I cant speak highly enough of NYC IVF—this clinic has been a beacon of hope for us, and were incredibly grateful to have found them.
Dr. Elassar is an expert in this field and an incredibly compassionate and caring physician. Her entire staff, likewise, blew me away with their warmth and professionalism. You are treated like a top priority at all times at NYC IVF and the process is tailored to your unique needs and situation. I did two rounds of egg freezing at NYC IVF and not only was I really pleased with the results, but I felt fully taken care of and supported throughout the entire process, which could have otherwise felt somewhat isolating. Choosing NYC IVF was one of the best life decisions I’ve made and I cannot recommend them enough.
My husband and I had an incredibly positive experience with NYC IVF. They are highly responsive and professional, providing ample support after hours. I encountered some issues while transporting my fertility meds, and they were incredibly helpful and flexible. I had to start my injections while out of state, and they worked closely with me to adjust my calendar and accommodate the situation, although I recommend being in New York for the entirety of the treatment, if possible. The team is not only professional but also kind and hardworking. They truly go above and beyond, working crazy hours to ensure their patients feel supported every step of the way.One thing to note is that they dont specifically recommend any major preparation for egg freezing, like changes to diet or supplements, since there isnt reliable data to back that up—other than suggesting prenatal supplements. I personally did my own preparation based on supplemental reading.Strongly recommend for folks looking for a highly personalized/intimate experience.
We want to thank Dr. Elassar and the entire team at NYC IVF. From the reception staff to nurses and the financial department, everyone here is truly amazing. Although we’re still on our journey and don’t have a success story to share just yet, we’re confident that we’re in the right hands.While our insurance does cover IVF in other clinics (in network), we made the difficult decision to go out of network and choose Dr. Elassar because we believe she is the best doctor for us. Like many others going through IVF, the financial aspect has been challenging, but we knew that her expertise and approach are worth the investment. Weve made it halfway through, and thrilled with the results weve achieved so far 🙏Dr. Elassar doesn’t sugarcoat the process—she tells it like it is and knows exactly what needs to be done to achieve success. Her confidence and skill have earned our complete trust, and we are grateful for the care and professionalism shown by her and the entire team.One of the things we appreciate most about this clinic is the incredible level of care and attention. We’ve never had to wait more than 5 minutes for an appointment, and every question we have is answered thoroughly. Emails (not urgent) are replied to within a couple of hours, and the financial department goes above and beyond, fighting with the insurance company to ensure we get as much coverage as possible.As we’re still on our journey, we believe in their ability to help us and grateful that we’re heard and important in this clinic — NEVER treated like a number. I highly recommend NYC IVF to anyone on a similar journey. Let’s make more success stories!Thank you, NYC IVF team and Dr. Elassar ♥️
I decided to go with NYCIVF after reading their wonderful reviews after having a negative experience with a different clinic. Every team member, from the receptionist to the nurses and the doctor showed a genuine interest in my well-being. They took the time to listen to my concerns, answer all my questions, and provide emotional support throughout my entire journey. Their compassion was evident in every interaction. I highly recommend NYCIVF and will be forever grateful for them!
NYC IVF is the best. There are no words how grateful i am to Dr. Elassar and her whole staff. Dr. Elassar is incredibly knowledgeable and nice. The staff is very nice and kind. They were always available for me whenever i had any questions or concerns. They answered all my questions and made sure that I understood all the process. There is no waiting time to see the doctor. They are simply the best and I highly recommend NYC IVF.
The team here are very professional and welcoming. Dr. Elassar is amazing and straight to the point. They’re also a teaching facility. So excited to be learning from such a great staff.
I had a wonderful experience freezing eggs at NYC IVF with Dr. Elassar. She and her team took as much time as needed to explain everything to me and answer all of my questions. I found it really valuable to have consistent care with the same Dr. and team throughout the entire process. I expected this process to feel much more difficult but having such a great team was comforting during what could be a vulnerable time. I would recommend NYC IVF to anyone who is interested. The office is well prepared and exceeds the standard of care. If I need help with fertility in the future I will absolutely be returning to Dr. Elassar.
My husband and I started our surrogacy journey a few years ago and we were very lucky to have a healthy beautiful boy via surrogacy while working with another fertility clinic in the West Coast. Then, it was time to try for a second child a few years later. This time we were not so lucky. Three failed attempts, broken promises, lack of information, and tons of money wasted without a child to account for. This fertility clinic wasted our 3 remaining embryos and we were heart broken!Then, this is where NYC IVF and Dr. Elassars team came to the picture. We had a consultation with NYC IVF team about possibility to still use our surrogate for a final attempt. They performed bunch of test, on both my myself and our surrogate to see where the issues were. Everything was clear and Dr. Elassar suggested that we should try one more time. This time felt different, Dr. Elassar was so compassionate and explain to us every detail along the journey. The previous clinic failed to provide all the information needed to assets the situation. The lack of information that we were not aware was detrimental, but we were so naive. It was not until NYC IVF explained to us in such of high level details that we were able to understand that the previous fertility clinic failed us.The NYC IVF staff is very friendly and I couldnt be happier to work with Tamar. She is outstanding! I could write here for hours... However, let me try to make it shorter. Fast forward, our first attempt was successful while working with NYC IVF and our surrogate got pregnant. We were already thinking to give up! We are beyond grateful that we decided to work with NYC IVF. We truly believe that this team is knowledgeable and will do everything in their power to accomplish your dream to become parents. I highly recommend NYC IVF for your fertility journey!
My fertility journey led me to NYC IVF due to various reasons and shortly after, I realized that I was in the right hands. The staff is well organized and Dr. Elassar and Tamar were a pleasure to work with as they are diligent and thoughtful about the approach - frequently monitoring hormone levels and making medication adjustments as necessary. It has been a long journey with many ups and downs to get my hormones to an optimal place and I appreciate the guidance and care that was provided each step of the way. We are extremely grateful that our FET was a success and are expecting early next year. Thank you NYC IVF!
When I first heard of NYC IVF, I was a little skeptical because they were out of network, but I thought why not give them a chance. I already had my first cycle done at another location and I was very disappointed, so I wasnt sure what to expect.After a few visits, I felt a little better, as if I was in better hands. I loved the fact that Dr Elassar and Nurse Tamar was there for each exam and they would communicate throughout the whole procedure. To me, it felt as though they really cared about me as an individual, and I loved how during my visits, its not over packed. Theres not a long wait time and I feel like they catered to me. This place is very professional and I would definitely recommend this place to everyone.NYC IVF knows what they are doing. If you have any concerns, worry not, for you will be in great hands. I wish I started with NYC IVF but its ok, Im glad, I at least got to go through two cycles with them, and the end result is amazing.NYC IVF is worth every penny. You will not be disappointed. They will work with you throughout the whole thing. Thank you NYC IVF for giving me the hope that I once lost.
Truly I cannot say enough about Dr. Elassar and her team. They are so lovely, kind, and organized. My sister and I went through the egg freezing process at the same time at NYC IVF; she had previously seen another doctor for her first round of egg freezing and found that Dr. Elassars office was far more communicative, the process was simpler, and the results were also better this time around.
I am profoundly grateful for the exceptional experience I had at NYC IVF, from start to finish. After a deeply disappointing experience at CCRM, I was searching for a place where I wouldnt feel like I was being treated as a number.Dr. Elassar and her entire staff exceeded my expectations with their remarkable level of care, efficiency and expertise. Ive never felt more seen, heard and understood by a healthcare provider. Every time I walked into the office, each staff member addressed me as Ms. Alexandra which made me feel like I truly mattered.Moreover, I always felt secure under Dr. Elassars care. After my procedure, I was concerned about potential OHSS and the team responded promptly and took me very seriously. Dr. Elassar personally responded to my email at 5am and scheduled an immediate check up. Everything was normal. Not once did they minimize me or dismiss my concerns, something I feel is unfortunately far too common in womens healthcare today. They showed nothing but care and concern and always erred on the side of caution. I cannot overstate my sincere gratitude for the superior level of care and treatment I received at NYC IVF! Word simply cannot express my appreciation for the entire teams dedication and support throughout the entire egg freezing process. Thank you!
The NYCIVF team made my egg freezing journey absolutely seamless and positive. Everyone from Dr. Elassar, RN Tamar, the medical assistants, and reception were so pleasant and attentive to my every question and needs. I LOVED that everything is done on site - blood work, scans, procedure, and even tissue storage. I highly recommend as a practice for any of your fertility needs!Thank you NYC IVF team!!
I saw Dr Elasser and the team at NYC IVF for my second round of egg freezing. I’m 37 years old. I arrived there after having been to a bunch of other places in the city. I had a terrible experience at RMA, and did my first round at NYU. NYU is totally fine - it’s just extremely chaotic in my opinion and nothing felt organized or chill or personal. And I was sprinting all over the city to get the meds, and couldn’t reach folks when I had questions, and had to figure out how to do injections via YouTube etc. it was just chaotic.I decided to do my second round of egg freezing at NYC IVF on the recommendation of a friend. From the very first appt, I felt so supported and cared for and just relaxed. They are so communicative and responsive and treat you like family. It’s the best mix of highest level professionalism with so much care and warmth. I don’t have any fertility coverage so freezing my eggs was a really big decision and it’s expensive. At every other office, I felt like they didn’t really care about what a big expense and deal this is financially. At NYC-IVF they really understand and did everything possible to help me navigate the system.I got nearly double the amount of eggs my second round with NYC IVF vs. my first round at NYU. Dr Elasser’s method is so personal and specific to each patient.The whole team is exceptional. And I know it sounds weird to say this but I genuinely miss going to see them!! Tamar, Victoria, Rhea, Belle, Pamela, and everyone else. Love them! And can’t say enough about Dr Elasser - the exact vibes I never knew I wanted - a total boss and expert who is clear and direct, but full of so much warmth and compassion. (On the day of retrieval I mentioned I get kinda nervous going under, and she held my hand as I fell asleep and was so comforting and caring!)You really won’t find the same care and responsiveness and just genuinely lovely people anywhere else. I know because I went to a lot of places!Ps - my sister is 40 and we ended up doing this process together! We both had the most positive and successful experiences.
Our journey to fertility planning led us to NYC IVF, and the experience has been nothing short of remarkable. From the moment we walked through the doors, we were met with professionalism, compassion, and unwavering support from the entire staff.First and foremost, our gratitude extends to Dr. Elassar, who guided us through every step of the process with expertise and empathy. Her wealth of knowledge, combined with her genuine concern for our well-being, instilled in us a sense of confidence and reassurance during what can be an emotionally taxing time. The staff took the time to listen to our concerns, answer our questions, and tailor a treatment plan that suited our needs.Thank you, NYC IVF!
I would highly recommend Dr. Elassar and her team. I came here for fertility preservation and everyone on her team is so kind and helpful. They are always available to answer any questions and really make you feel supported throughout the whole process. They know each patient by name and give personalized care and attention to their patients. They also were able to help get me seen and starting treatment very quickly which was incredibly helpful with my work travel schedule.In addition to the great care, I was very happy with my results. I am so glad that I chose NYC IVF for fertility preservation and would highly recommend Dr. Elassar, Nurse Tamar, and her whole team. Thank you again!
If I could give this team 10 stars I would!From start to finish everyone was so kind and caring. They made the experience the most pleasant it possibly could be! Any questions or concerns were answered so thoroughly and every procedure was done with such care and compassion. I could not recommend NYC IVF more!
NYC IVF is like a supportive friend on the fertility journey. The staff is not just knowledgeable but also super caring. I felt understood and valued and Dr. Elassar went the extra mile to explain things to my husband and I. It didnt feel just like a medical process; it felt like a shared journey with a compassionate team. Definitely would recommend
I had an excellent experience at NYC IVF! Compared to two clinics I have visited in New York, the experience at NYC IVF was fantastic. Dr. Elassar, Tamar, Victoria, Rhea, and Needa were more than accommodating and kind. They were prompt and had excellent bedside manner. The whole team was compassionate and I had a wonderful experience.I just finished my egg freezing cycle and I felt supported the whole way through, medically and emotionally. I read scary things online about egg freezing, but this experience at NYC IVF was nothing of the sort. They made me feel extremely comfortable and I was informed throughout the whole egg freezing process.The financial burden was lower than at other clinics in New York, and NYC IVF was very transparent with their costs.I am so thrilled with the outcome of my treatment, and I cant recommend this clinic enough!
NYC IVF - Absolutely incredible doctors and staff. Dr. Elassar is the best doctor ive ever had. She is incredibly knowledgeable, empathetic, very kind, and thorough when explaining the process. Her calm demeanor and honest approach are a breath of fresh air in an otherwise challenging journey. Dr. Elassar took the time to explain everything before treatment and always made me feel comfortable throughout every step in our journey. She makes herself available 24/7 and is very responsive with any questions or concerns.Tamar, Alejandra, Victoria, Anisha, Rhea and others are friendly, caring, knowledgeable, well organized, and very responsive. They are always very patience in addressing my numerous queries by answering calls and emails, even at odd hours. I always felt very safe entrusting Dr. Elassar and her great team with our journey.I highly recommend NYC IVF to anyone seeking in compassionate and dedicated team. If you are not seeing Dr. Elassar for your fertility needs, you must need now.Huge Thank You to Dr. Elassar and her ever-smiling wonderful team again in helping me conceive !!
Dr. Elassar is not only well-educated and trained but has a breadth of knowledge and experience. Her staff was exemplary as well. I felt very well taken care of. Highly recommend.
The best experience ever, very professional made me feel completely comfortable. I love the entire staff I literally chose them because I truly felt in my heart that they would give me a miracle. I haven’t had one bad experience with them, they were available to me 24 hours there wasn’t one time I couldn’t reach someone. Email or by phone the instructions were given and they were straight forward never a time I didn’t understand what I was doing. Medication explained perfectly I will truly miss them and I can’t wait till I get to visit with my baby. I highly recommend NYCIVF amazing staff amazing doctors very clean and very comfortable the whole team is amazing!!!!!!
I do not have enough words to say thank you so much for your hard word and all the good quality of your service. All the team is incredible and Doctor Elassar is so smart and has a lot of experience in her field, and she is always ready to make a different plan if something is not working in your body. I had two cycles of IVF and finally I am pregnant this time.I am thankful because the team is always available to me any time and responds to all my questions and my concerns. I really recommend this clinic because they are able to treat you like a human and not like another number. I have felt so warm and welcome in this place all the time.
I have had a wonderful experience since day one. Dr. Elassar started with a comprehensive history and answered all questions without making you feel rushed. All options are discussed and you dont feel pressured into anything. All the staff are very good at making you feel comfortable and at ease. I really appreciate the balance of them being professional and so personable at the same time. I am beyond thankful to everyone at NYC IVF in helping me conceive.
Dr. Elassar and the team are very thorough and tedious about every step to our IVF journey. It was great to have this kind of positive support from beginning to the testing positive to pregnancy 10 wks. Every process was explained for us first timers. We highly recommend! Everything is done in house. The clinic is clean and friendly!
Long overdue review! NYCIVF was so wonderful! The care and attention Dr. Elassar and her team provided was exceptional. I went to another clinic before finding NYCIVF, it was totally the opposite experience! I wish I had gone here sooner. Dr. Elassar answered all of my queries and made sure I understood every part of the process. She was kind, gentle and very understanding. I felt safe and comfortable throughout my treatment here. The NYCIVF team have also been so accommodating and friendly. It definitely makes a difference when you’re surrounded by people who want the best for you especially during this time when you’re at your most vulnerable.
I have no words to show the gratitude towards Dr Elassar n whole team of Nycivf. We felt support n enough warmth and privacy in our first visit after disappointments from other places. Dr Elassar is so smart, empathetic, kind, cooperative to her patients and gives the most effective treatment. She explains everything with clarity n detail. She is straight forward to the point and she knows what she is doing and she started the process that no one even recommended in previous appointments and after following protocols with her team we are finally able to conceive. Nurse Tamar is a very kind heart and a very capable hand, Alejandro is handling finances with patience , embryologist in the office lab and all the medical professionals in the office were supportive, kind and respectful every time we walked in. This is the best place in NY for fertility treatment under Dr. Elassar.
Simply the best! From my initial consultation, to feeling comfortable to explore the options Id wanted to and getting the best support and explanations to my many questions throughout, Im extremely glad that Id chosen NYC IVF for my journey. At every point, I felt comfortable and informed, cared for and known. I know that my future is brighter because of the work Dr. Elassar and the whole team have done! Id highly recommend a consultation to anyone considering starting a fertility journey, from egg freezing to IUI / IVF, I hope this will be a place for you like it was for me.Just wanted to provide an update that my journey had been a success and hope it will be for you, too!
UPDATE (2024): I was stoked to come here for my 2nd child. Dr. Elassar and Dr. Tamar did a great job with Sonograms and explaining the process and calendar timeline. The staff did a good job with drawing blood and results were available the same day. Showing up for an appointment always felt like showing up to a friends place. Wait time is never too much. Sometimes the whole visit is less than 20 minutes! One day I showed up a day early for my appointment and was accommodated and saw the doctor within 5 minutes. Highly recommend NYCIVF for future parents who want personalized care!Original Post (2021): Dr. Elassar and Team deserve 5 stars! I had success during my first IVF. I loved couple of things such as Dr. Elassar’s beside manner and always having her do my sonograms. She has a professional bedside manner and I never felt uncomfortable if I showed up some days with hairy legs, hahaha. Dr. Elassar felt like a friend who knew me in and out (in terms of our struggles in conceiving) and the whole team always cared for me and my husband along the way. I never felt like a number.Dr. Elassar has a team of wonderful staff who are helpful and understanding. Some days can be very busy for them but they never fail to deliver. Dr. Elassar makes herself available if her team is not available outside working hours. She made me feel comfortable during the retrieval process because it was my first time meeting the anesthesiologist and the embryologist, which made it nerve wrecking for me. Victoria was also there afterwards to make me feel comfortable. I loved that Dr. Elassar was with me throughout the whole process and made it comfortable.Dr. Elassar’s team did great working with our insurance as an out of network provider. They even hopped on conference calls with the insurance so we can retrieve the money out insurance owed us.I can’t praise Dr. Elassar and team enough. She would never say, but she’s working 24/7!!! And her team shows up on weekends as well (if your cycle fell on a weekend). These angels give up their family time to help us have a family. THANK YOU NYC IVF!!!
My wife and I just wanted to take a moment to express our gratitude for the exceptional care and support that Dr Elassar and her team provided us throughout our IVF journey. From the very beginning, we felt that we were in the hands of experts who truly cared about our well-being and were committed to helping us achieve our dream of starting a family.During the IVF process, we always felt well-informed and supported. Dr Elassar’s is extremely knowledgeable, a true genius. Her team was always available to answer our questions and offer guidance, and we never felt rushed. We were provided with a sense of comfort and reassurance that helped us stay positive and hopeful throughout what has been a very emotional and challenging experience.The facilities are state-of-the-art, and the staff are incredibly professional, knowledgeable, and compassionate. We were impressed by the way in which each member took the time to get to know us personally and how Dr Elassar tailored her approach to meet each of our specific needs and concerns.We cannot thank Dr Elassar and her entire team enough for everything they have done for us. NYC IVF truly is the best IVF clinic, and we would highly recommend them to anyone who is seeking help to conceive.
We loved our whole experience with NYC IVF. Dr Elassar and her whole team, from nurses, assistants, and the finance expert are all super caring, personable, patient, organized, and responsive. These are really key when going through the IVF process. They always answered our questions effectively and chose the approach that is best for the female body. You always see the same doctor and nurses and really develop a relationship with the whole team. I also rarely waited for more than 5min to be seen by the doctor or the nurses for my exams. Im really grateful for the whole experience!
I recently froze my eggs and had a very positive experience at NYC IVF. Dr. Elassar and her team are incredibly hard working and professional- they were responsive nearly 24/7 to any questions I had. In addition to the caliber of care, the staff are so lovely. Dr. Elassar definitely has a team of all stars - youll be in good hands.
I like to thank Dr Elassar and her wonderful team. From the first consultation, my and my husband knew that this will be the clinic that we like to put our hopes in. The team has made me feel at home since then and I am being treated respectfully and with lots of care. I am in the process and treatment is going on smoothly with good results. All instructions are explained clearly and email responses are almost within the next 1- 2 hours. Highly recommend this clinic and I assure that you will be in their good hands :)
Dr. Elassar and the NYC IVF team are amazing!. From the moment we first spoke with Dr. Elassar we knew we were in good hands. She is very professional and knew all the answers to our questions, she is truly knowledgeable. Unlike other doctors we saw, she brought warmth and a sense of ease to us. She outlined a plan for us and was very straightforward and very kind. The entire NYC IVF team was very helpful through the process, all email and phone calls were answered in a prompt manner.All the team deserves 5 stars from reception to the nurses which helped us through the medication process and explained in detail all questions we had. They also helped us with some insurance questions we had which made our journey a bit easier.During the visits, the staff was welcoming and we did not have to wait long periods which helped manage our rest of the day schedule. Thanks to Dr. Elassar and the entire team we are now expecting a baby girl and can’t thank the team enough, they are true professionals and would recommend to anyone that is going through the process of picking a doctor on their IVF journey. This team felt like a personalized, caring, and family team of professionals. They are the best at what they do!.
I needed paperwork on really short notice, and the NYCIVF team not only provided the necessary paperwork quickly but also exhibited a remarkable attitude despite the urgency. Their prompt assistance truly made all the difference. NYCIVF is the best!
Dr Elassar and the team are truly incredible.The process of IVF can be overwhelming but with Dr Elassar and the Nurses every single question was answered thoroughly and multiple times. Ive been coming to the office since 2019 and am lucky enough to know the entire team so well. My face would always light up walking into the NYC IVF office, because I knew they would always direct me in the right direction. Going through this process can be extremely daunting and sometimes scary, but with the NYC IVF Team you will be treated with the best service & guidance. I truly love them.
NYCIVF team is truly special. Since our first appointment, Dr. Elassar has been personable and kind while very informative and clear. Shes always truly listening to you and will make sure to clarify all your questions. The whole team - Tamar, Alejandra, Victoria and others - were always very welcoming, kind and dedicated. Always. Any time I had a question or needed extra instructions Id get prompt responses. Im really glad we found NYCIVF and I wish they can keep the good work to help more and more people.
Dr. Elassar is a wonderful doctor and caregiver and most importantly, a partner with patients in their fertility journey. She is smart, personable and a true professional. We started together in 2019 and over the past three years, the full team was responsive and encouraging; this process requires a lot of support which they certainly provide. I did my research on several doctors in NYC and I knew that I wanted to have a safe, warm and welcoming place to come to for all of my visits and appointments. I absolutely made an excellent decision. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience with the practice.
With NYC IVF, youre in the best hands for receiving personalized care during your fertility journey. We had a great experience with Dr. Elassar and her team. Youre definitely not a number here and are treated with care and honesty. With each step of the egg retrieval process, Dr. Elassar kept me informed of whats coming next and what needed to be modified. She pushed me just the right amount to get optimum results for the challenges my case presented. I really appreciated this as ive had some frustrating experiences with another clinic where you get treated like as assembly line. Overall, I felt like I was part of a family and NYC IVF really cared and was invested in my journey.
From the first consultation, we knew that Dr. Elassar was the right doctor we have chosen. She took the time to know everything about our medical history in details and we have started from there. We are being treated respectfully and with a lot of care.I like to thank Dr. Elassar and her team (Tamar, Victoria, Alejandra, Anisha, and all the rest) for all their incredible efforts and support that make us fell like a family. They were always there to answer any questions we had and they respond to our emails within minutes.With frozen embryos transfer, we have our first girl who is now 2 and a half years old and now we are 18 weeks pregnant with the second baby/babies😊.I highly recommend Dr. Elassar to anyone who are looking to do IVF or any other infertility treatments.
I had such a great experience with NYC IVF. I came in for the egg retrieval process and freezing embryos. I was a bit nervous and they made me feel at ease. Everyone at the clinic, from the greeting at the door to Dr. Elassar, were always personable, caring, compassionate and made me feel so comfortable. They made the egg retrieval process really easy and quick and explained everything to me very clearly. They were always so responsive as well and kept me updated in real time and answered any questions I had. I cant say enough good things about this clinic. The outcome was so much better than I expected and Im so happy I came here!
I had a wonderful experience at NYC IVF for egg freezing. Everyone at the office knows your name and where you are throughout your process. They were on call 24/7 if I had any questions about the medications and Dr. Elassar took the time to explain things to me, answer any questions and make me feel at ease. Overall, the process was much easier than I thought it was going to be and I think thats because NYC IVF really knows what theyre doing! The actual egg retrieval procedure went great, I felt no pain and had no side effects. I am so impressed by the number of mature eggs Dr. Elassar was able to get and its nice to know theyre stored right in the office so I dont have to worry about them traveling anywhere or dealing with another company. I truly cant recommend them enough, I think theyre the best in the city!
Dr. Alyssar is very professional and experienced. She showed not only professionalism as a physician but genuine care to her patient. She was always available for any questions and my concerns during my treatment. Her entire staff was friendly and approachable. The nurses were very helpful in providing guidance on injections. Alejandra was very patient and helpful when it comes to billing questions. I would 100% recommend NYC IVF for treatments.
My husband and I are extremely grateful to Dr. Ellassar and the NYC IVF professional staff. The first moment we walked into their establishment we left there confident and comfortable. We started at another IVF fertility but I wanted a facility that was reliable, prompt with responses, and professional. NYC IVF has all those attributes plus many more! The warm family feel and communication is what made our decision to choose NYC IVF. This was my first attempt at IVF and I am absolutely pleased with the care I received at this facility. Everything from finance, appointments, procedures, and medications were explained thoroughly and to top it off eveything is completed in house. I did not mind the commute from Queens to Manhattan for my appointments and will be doing it again for Baby #2. Needless to say, first transfer was a success! This has been the best experience. Thank you Dr. Elassar for helping us build our family and a thank you to the NYC IVF staff for making the experience such a pleasant one.
I chose NY City IVF because I wanted a team of women who could really understand everything that I was going through, and I am so happy I made that decision! Dr Elaasar, Tamar and every single member of their team was so supportive of me and my process. They were always responsive and available and they were very kind to me every step of the way.Now I am pregnant, expecting my first baby! I will always be grateful for the love, dedication and professionalism I received.It is already difficult to go through an IVF process but it made it so much easier to have them by my side. Also the clinic is so beautiful and calm! So grateful for them! Highly recommend!
My wife and I cannot speak more positively about our experience at NYC IVF. NYC IVF was a dream come true for us. Dr. Elassar was caring, responsive, answered all of our questions, and showed us she knew what she was doing. We felt very confident and assured by her and the entire team. They took our specific concerns seriously and made sure to address them, not ignore or dismiss them. The nurses, receptionists, and coordinators were always on our side, and responded quickly to emails and calls. They would explain things multiple times if needed, and always gave us the respect and care that we needed during what can be a difficult and emotional time.We are happy to say that because of their services my wife is currently pregnant with our first child! We cannot thank the NYC IVF team enough for their hard work and compassion. They are worth every dollar, for their dedication, intelligence, and positive compassionate attitude.Prior to finding Dr. Elassar’s office we had been frustrated with some of the big hospitals that have a reputation but dont have the customer service or ability to care about each patient. We felt like we were treated like in a factory, with never the same nurse or even the same doctor during visits, it was impossible to get an email or callback for important questions, and they were rarely willing to take the time to be with us for the ups and downs. Plus, we had specific medical issues that they didn’t address or acknowledge! Instead, they put us through the same standard protocol without thinking about our specific needs. The big name hospitals may work for some, but if you want the personal touch individualized attention with a group that values their patients and provides excellent service, then look no further.
I cannot express enough gratitude for NYCIVF.They treated us like family from Day 1. Our appointments with Dr. Elassar were always thorough and she never made us feel rushed, or unimportant.The same applies to everyone on the team from Alejandra who manages finances to Tamar and the other medical professionals who we met with. We were always greeted with smiles and warmth and no question went unanswered.After each procedure we were given clear verbal instructions accompanied by an email of the same. The team was always available to us through phone or email and were very responsive. Our prescriptions and appointments were all scheduled well with no issues.I never had to wait long for my appointments. All our lab results arrived quickly and I appreciated that they have in house testing so there was never any mix ups or long wait times for labs.The exam rooms, waiting area, procedure rooms, and restrooms are impeccably clean and pleasant.Since our initial consultation we have felt like we’ve been in the most capable hands with NYCIVF. My experience with them has allowed me to embrace my unique fertility journey - meeting them has been my silver lining.
NYC Ivf is the absolute best! This was my third ivf clinic in the city. I was searching for a clinic where I didn’t feel like a number and was seen by the Doctor and same nurses everytime. I was so lucky to have found this clinic because it was just that. Dr Elassar really cares about each of her patients. Her and Tamar always make me feel like I’m in good hands and calm me down when I’m spiraling! I was successful on my first FET. After 4 iuis I thought I would never be pregnant but here I am.. no words can explain how grateful I am to everyone on this staff. The front desk staff and Victoria are amazing as well! Don’t hesitate and definitely go with this clinic!
I cannot speak highly enough of Dr. Elassar and the entire NYC IVF team. From the first meeting, they made me feel so comfortable, informed, and secure - there with me step-by-step through the entire egg freezing process. I didnt really know what to expect and, at times, was definitely nervous, but Dr. Elassar and her team took such great care of me. I am truly grateful for everything theyve done for me and would 100% recommend them to anyone looking for fertility services!
My wife and I cannot recommend NYC IVF enough. Dr. Elassar and her team are incredibly dedicated and professional, while also making you feel cared for at all times. They were responsive to any queries or concerns we had, and were transparent about the associated costs. This helped make what was at times a stressful process, feel less overwhelming. NYC IVF is truly the driving force behind our expanding family. Anyone who is having difficulties in this regard should consider them as their first choice when choosing a fertility clinic.
After trying for so long, we decided to consult with NYC IVF and it was the best decision ever made. Everyone is super nice and welcoming, short wait times, and Dr. Elassar is the only doctor you’ll ever see, together with their wonderful nurses. You’ll feel that every visit is personalized and they will work on your schedule. I got pregnant with my first baby through NYC IVF and I am now on my 2nd one! So thank you NYC IVF for making these happen!
Words cannot express the gratitude I feel towards the incredible medical team at NYC IVF, especially Dr. Alyaa, Tamar, Alexandra, Anisha, Carolyn, Victoria, the embryologist, the anaesthesiologist,and all the team members who made me feel home and comfortable from the first moment!I really struggled with the past 15 miscarriages before I come to know NYC IVF team and have such a wonderful confident medical support and care that with Allah’s will helped me see my baby on scan and hear her heart beats!I’m in tears and so grateful! I was really trying to have a baby to share with my parents who passed away Allah Yer7amhom. However, I feel that they are with me sharing the happiness now.I really recommend this exceptionally talented team to be your host of the journey to have a beautiful healthy baby! Don’t waste time! I toured many countries in the world and saw my dream becoming a reality here in New York at NYC IVF clinic which is so professionally advanced, caring about every detail, and scientifically capable.Never give up and confidently go with NYC IVF team with whom dreams of having a beautiful baby become reality! A real experience by a Harvard alumniI love you NYC IVF team and hope to have more babies with you.I can’t thank you enough!Love,Rawan
My experience at the NYC IVF clinic was nothing short of amazing. From start to finish, I was met with kindness, understanding, and a warm experience I’ve never had with any provider. Since completing my process, I have recommended so many friends to this clinic. I believe that any person interested in freezing their eggs should be able to do so while being led by a doctor and team of incredibly compassionate experts.
My wife and I confidently chose NYC IVF and Dr. Elassar (and her dream team) based on a close friend’s exceptional and successful IVF experience with them. Dr. Elassar is an extraordinary doctor, highly skilled in her specialty, with an outstanding women team. The office is pristine with strict covid guidelines, which gave us much comfort. From the onset, the team meticulously guided us through this challenging process, gave us great ease and support at each step, and now were elated and forever grateful to them for my wife to be pregnant at 8 weeks!!! We highly recommend NYC IVF for anyone who wants to achieve the highest chance of success with a first-class team!
I have been trying to find the right words to express how wonderful NYC IVF truly is. Five stars do not do them justice. Dr. Elassar and her entire team are just the best. They are literally the best at what they do. The office is impeccably managed, everyone has their role and does it with perfection. And Dr. Elassar is an absolute expert in her field. My husband and I struggled with infertility with no known cause for 5 years. No other doctors did the work-up and investigating that Dr. Elassar did. At appointments, I could see in Dr. Elassars eyes the wheels in her head turning trying to resolve whatever problem was presented to her. A true genius and also compassionate and caring. I got nauseous in the office one day and the nurse, Tamar (Dr. Elassars right hand woman) and Dr. Elassar herself, put me in a room to rest, gave me a blanket and let me stay there until I felt completely ok to leave. Another time I had to get an MRI. I had never had one. I found out Im claustrophobic. Dr. Elassar sat with me and talked me through getting the MRI using calming techniques. And it worked. Ive never met any other medical team so invested and committed to their patients. The entire team at NYC IVF takes personal care of each individual patient. Phone calls are answered 24/7, emails are replied to within minutes. They worked with my schedule so I could have my appointments and also get to work on time. There was never a wait. They called or emailed results immediately. Prescription issues like prior authorizations were resolved right away.My journey began at NYC IVF in November 2021, and from the start I knew I would give them an outstanding review no matter what my personal outcome was. Now, less than a year after meeting Dr. Elassar, I am currently 7 weeks pregnant thanks to NYC IVF. I feel like the entire team became a kind of second family. I really do not want to leave them. Its hard to find the right doctor, especially the right fertility doctor. The previous reviews I read about NYC IVF helped convince me to schedule my first appointment. I hope this review convinces others.
Dr. Elassar and team are the most wonderful people you will come across. They take such good care of their patients that you won’t feel you’re visiting a doctors office. We came for general reproductive consultation with Dr. Elassar and found out we were already pregnant. Doctor gave us the most amazing surprise of our lives. Doctor and her team made sure to do all the necessary tests required in the initial stage of pregnancy to ensure everything is perfect. Our time at NYC IVF though was short (in a good way)but the best one. Without a shadow of doubt I’ll definitely recommend to anyone looking for help. Best wishes to everyone at NYC IVF. Lots of love!
We are so grateful to Dr. Elassar and the whole team at NYC IVF for helping us bring our sweet little boy into the world. Dr. Elassar was recommended by my OB/GYN as an IVF practice that didnt feel like an assembly line. She was spot on. I felt very well taken-care of by the warm and knowledgeable staff and nearly always saw Dr. Elassar herself for my visits. She did a great job setting reasonable expectations about the process, which was helpful and reassuring. Everyone on the team was kind and very supportive throughout. I wouldnt hesitate to recommend NYC IVF to anyone looking for a personalized and caring experience.
I cannot begin to explain how wonderful our experience was at NYC IVF. The entire staff is both compassionate and direct and they understand this is not an easy thing for everyone. Dr. Elassar and her staff made the entire process so simple and clear- something I never experience with doctors especially in regards to fertility. She even answered some emails I sent during off-hours and on weekends. No matter where you are in the process, I would absolutely recommend NYC IVF.
I had such a wonderful experience with the entire medical staff at NYC IVF. I received great communication throughout my egg retrieval procedure. Dr. Elassar and the nursing staff was always eager to assist and answer any questions I had. I really appreciate the kindness that was extended to me and will be forever grateful. Thank you!
It was a pleasure working with Dr. Elassar and her team! Dr. Elassar is a very caring and attentive doctor, she helped us to go through this physically and emotionally difficult process and I will be forever grateful to her for this! She also has the best office staff - everybody knows you by name, you do not feel like you are just a number, but an important person that gets all the support needed. I definitely recommend NYC IVF!
Dr. Elassar and her team are awesome! They are passionate, knowledgeable, and efficient. I am glad that I find her and go through every single steps without concerns during the whole journey. Highly recommend.
I am so grateful to Dr. Elassar and her team. Thanks to them, we have a healthy, happy baby. I had already had a false start with the IVF journey at an NYC hospital and I knew I needed a smaller, private clinic where I would get more of the doctors time and attention. NYC IVF is exactly that.My first visit, almost a year ago now, began with a 90 minute consultation with Dr. Elassar. She is very straightforward and direct - qualities I respond well to. It is a small tight team and you see the same assistants and nurses every single visit. I found that extremely comforting. I was also able to meet the embryologist and talk in detail with her. Tamar, Alejandra, Valentina - all incredible lovely people.IVF is emotionally exhausting as well as physically taxing. I appreciated that all tests and medical procedures were at the clinic’s location. I only had to show up. They have their own embryo lab, operating room, and ultrasound facilities.Dr. Elassar’s team also took care of all my insurance back and forth so I could focus on the process and the results. When the going got tough with some upsetting results, Dr. Elassar was deeply empathetic and kept me motivated.There is a fair amount of luck that is part of the IVF process. Obviously, no medical team can impact that but for everything else outside of it, I trust Dr. Elassar and her team.
I recently just underwent my first round of egg freezing. I was really nervous with the process as I did not really know what to expect. I spoke to a couple clinics as I wanted to be confident in my decision since its such an important procedure. I ended up choosing NYC IVF because of the personalized care you get the first moment you walk in the door. Everyone knew my name and Dr. Elassar spent so much time explaining how the whole process works. Every appointment I had started on time with Dr. Elassar updating me on my progress. The other clinics I spoke to mentioned having a rotational system where you may or may not see your original doctor, which was rather off putting to me. In the end, I had a successful egg retrieval because of the constant monitoring and care that Dr. Elassar and her staff provided, and I could not be more grateful. 10 out of 10 would highly recommend NYC IVF for their services.
If you are looking to do IVF this is the ideal place, the entire team is helpful, friendly and always has a quick response to all your concerns. Doctor Alyaa Elassar is very kind and she always explains in detail on each visit how the process is going. Tamar is very nice, friendly and always makes sure that you know how to take each medication in the correct way including the injections which are quite a few. If your language is Spanish the same as mine Alejandra will become your best friend, always with a smile to help you in everything you need. Victoria and Heidy are also very kind and careful when it comes to doing your blood work. The most important thing that help me make the decision of the clinic was that the entire procedure is in the same place. They are very organized and precise when it comes to the retrieval and implanting of your embryo, making sure that there are no errors. I am already 8 weeks pregnant and today is my last visit and how I would like them to attend to my entire pregnancy. From the bottom of our hearts, my husband and I thank you for everything you have done for us in these 5 months. I highly recommend this clinic and the entire team.
NYCIVF is an exceptional practice. We tried so many others that were more like sad factories. As you are going through what may be the most stressful time in your life, you need a team that is caring, considerate and communicative. NYCIVF provides that trinity. I appreciate the honesty and forthrightness of our Dr Elassar, the thoroughness of the front office team of Alejandra and the care of the nurses of Tamar and Needa who make early mornings bearable. We started with a practice in Brooklyn and it was an awful experience there. Coming to NYCIVF was a breath of fresh air. For such a stressful experience, the team truly puts their best foot forward and makes you feel assured and encouraged.
I cant speak highly enough of Dr. Elassar and her wonderful team at NYC IVF. Dr. Elassar is both an amazing person and doctor. I am truly grateful for her and her team. They are genuinely warm, caring and friendly. They really care and take the time to explain everything in detail to you. Unlike practices where there are many doctors and you get lost in the shuffle and there is a lack of personal attention and care, Dr. Elassar does everything herself, and is there with you every step of the way. She makes herself available 24/7 and is very responsive with any questions or concerns. They do such an important job and they do it with the greatest care and excellence. I recommend NYC IVF to everyone who wants the best care, experience and success. Thank you so much again for everything!
My name is Anna Friedberg and I am 46 years old. I have gone through the IVF and egg donor program at NYCIVF, and today I feel so blessed to have my two children thanks to Dr. Alya Elassar and her caring and professional team. After the first pelvic exam and evaluation Dr. Elassar customized a hormonal protocol just for me. She tailored it according to my specific needs so well that I did not experience any side effects during the entire treatment. I got pregnant from just one cycle and the entire process felt like a breeze.I had gone to other reproductive endocrinologists prior to embracing on my journey at NYCIVF and was not satisfied. I felt so comfortable with Dr. Elassar as she took me through the process meticulously, closely monitoring my hormones, conducting daily scans and adjusting accordingly with each and every step. There is no Dr. that does that in NYC.I felt I was considered as an individual and was not just the next case, that what I felt mattered and I felt held by her and her team. They provided me with daily lab results reports as well as a summary from the embryologist on site - truly professional and concerned about my state of mind and body. The one-one personalized care really distinguishes this clinic from other reproductive centers in the city. My retrievals and transfers went seamlessly and I was able to get pregnant both times effortlessly and continued my journey with her through the gestational stage.I was additionally able to benefit and experience the effect of Dr. Ellasar’s integrative approach. Her holistic program that runs in parallel to the IVF treatment is efficacious and fertility bolstering. I had weekly acupressure and bodywork sessions that kept my emotions in check. I cannot thank her more enough or recommend her more highly. My life wouldn’t be the same without her. She is a true blessing, and an exceptional fertility expert who is highly intelligent, experienced and compassionate. She held me throughout and I felt graced by her brilliance and magic touch.I now have two sweet children and the family I always wanted! Thank you dear NYCIFV team and Dr. Elassar. I love you all.
Dr. Elassar is one of the best doctor I‘ve ever had. Staff of Nyc Ivf is cooperating and friendly. Their response for any queries is so fast. They made sure I’m comfortable in process and they guided very professionally. It was my best decision to choose dr. Elassar for my treatment. Now I got pregnant with my first baby by the help of nyc Ivf and I would like to thanks dr. Elassar and team members for making this happen.
I had the best experience with the NYC IVF team. They made a seemingly scary and stressful experience feel very seamless--all while keeping it very intimate! I truly felt that the entire office was involved and invested in my egg freezing journey. I highly recommend this office for all of your fertility needs!
Dr. Elassar for sure, is the best of the best! After numerous fertility offices, Drs, and opinions…NYC IVF has been our miracle haven. In a world where something so personal like infertility has become just another business, it’s hard to find a Dr that understands you as an individual, even if you’re just another infertility patient. Dr. Elassar and her team are not only the best at what they do, but stand out from the rest. She is so understanding and compassionate. She is so thorough and detailed in the treatment plan she picks for you. She found a way to give my husband and I something we had already accepted couldn’t happen. Our son, and now a second one on the way. I have never felt so safe and hopeful anywhere else. Even if I had moved, I would have traveled across the world to continue my journey with her. Trust, quality, experience, and heart is what I can say NYC IVF will offer you during whatever stage of your journey you may be on.
I couldn’t say enough wonderful things about Dr Elassar and the rest of the team. They made sure I was comfortable and were so attentive and helpful throughout the whole process. From day one, they explained everything to me in detail and we’re always available to answer any of my questions. Everything went seamlessly and I couldn’t be happier that I chose to go to NYC IVF!
Never in my life have I met such a fantastic healthcare provider - EVER. And we all know, the fertility journey can be a very long and difficult road for those who traverse it. So we must pick wisely. Dr. Elassar, Tamar, Vicky, Alejandra and their fantastic(!) embryologist all work in sync to provide you with the best possible outcome and experience. They also -- altho not their job or advertised -- provide so much support and comfort each and every step of the way. No one is too busy or too tired to answer any of your questions -- at any time of the day or night, weekday or weekend.Prior to coming to NYC IVF, I received treatment at another well-regarded IVF clinic in Manhattan. Needless to say, I had to jump ship, and fortunately, my godsend angels, Dr. Elassar and her team were waiting for me right on the other side. The results of my retrieval at NYC IVF were astronomically better than that of my previous retrieval with my former clinic. Honestly, I (as well as my husband) deeply regret not having come to NYC IVF any earlier.I am happy to say that my first transfer with NYC IVF was a success! I still deal with major anxiety, but what calms me down immediately is knowing that I have my full trust in Dr. Elassar and that she will see me to the end of this journey -- baby in arms.Provided you are financially able, I dont see how you can go anywhere else.
Dr. Elassar took great care to explain all steps and procedures to me every step of the way. Tamar who assisted was also very caring. Tamar really went out of her way for me and was incredible. She was excellent with my injections and bloodwork!My egg retrieval was successful and the entire experience at NYC IVF was very positive for me. Everyone that works in Dr.Elassar’s office knew me by name and I felt genuinely cared for by the whole team. I’m so grateful that my OB/GYN recommended Dr. Elassar to me.
This is actually our 3rd clinic after finding the other two to be impersonal and seemingly not in a hurry to help us conceive after 4 years of trying. After my first visit with NYC IVF, Dr Elassar got us going immediately on a more aggressive plan. The process has been hard but the team has been so supportive, empathetic and available whenever we had questions.Since you cannot always control the cycle schedule - and sometimes important dates fall on the weekend - this team works on Saturdays if needed (while the other clinics did not bother). It just shows NYC IVF is willing to go the extra mile if it helps your odds, even just a little bit more!We arent finished with our journey yet, but are so much closer to conceiving than ever. We trust that Dr Elassar, Tamar, and the rest of the team will help us with a successful pregnancy soon!Thank you so much NYC IVF team for all your care and hard work.
When looking at fertility clinics we didn’t just want to go somewhere based off price or rating, we wanted to find a doctor who truly listened & was hands on with our case & that’s exactly what we got. The same warmth & knowledge shown on social media by NYC IVF is the same you get when you meet with the staff in person. The care & good nature of the staff calmed me through it all as they thoroughly talked me through everything making sure I always understood & was ok with what we’re proceeding with. I love how they are so easy to reach out to, they respond quickly & don’t make you feel like a bother on the contrary they check up on you to make sure all is well. I cannot wait to continue with our journey with NYC IVF 💞
I knew NYC IVF was the right place for me from the very first phone call. The entire team is warm, personable, attentive and caring. They were there for me 24/7. I am extremely grateful to everyone there for all they have done to help me in the egg freezing process. They truly went above and beyond to help me and make this as easy and comfortable as possible.
I had great experience at NYC IVF. Dr Alyaa and everyone else there is simply the best. So kind and understanding, and every question is answered really nicely. I recommend them to everyone that’s looking for fertility clinic.
This is going to be long because I have MUCH to say about NYCIVF and if this review can help someone out there contemplating on where to receive care, I would be so glad.Before I became a patient at NYCIVF, I had already done 3 or 4 rounds of IUI at a facility that was very close to my home but felt very much like a factory rather than a place for care for people going through one of the toughest and most vulnerable situations of their lives.My husband and I finally reached the point of knowing IVF would be our next step. NYCIVF was recommended to me by a coworker who had success with them on her first round of IVF, and shared stories of others she knew that had failed rounds at other facilities and success at NYCIVF as well. She specifically spoke highly of Dr. Elassar and the staff saying that even to this day that her little one is older, they still keep in touch with her asking how she and her family are doing. That level of genuine care, especially while no longer being an active patient, was unheard of to me.So here we were, with one shot to do IVF, stuck with the option of proceeding with the facility we were already a patient in, conveniently close to home but providing cold and impersonal care from the staff (like I said, very factory-like feel), or to take the chance with NYCIVF despite the commute being 4x longer from our home in South Brooklyn. Needless to say, on a gut feeling, and a strong feeling that if I were to go through IVF, I deserved the best, seemingly personalized care, we decided to set up a consultation with Dr. Elassar. We felt very good about our consultation with her and decided to commit to being patients at NYCIVF.The details of my care: I have a history of endometriosis and low ovarian reserve. I began treatment and at first, I was not responding great to the initial protocol. Instead of using a standard, cookie-cutter protocol on me, Dr. Elassar was meticulous in requiring to see me often and following my response, adjusting my medication as needed, and as a result, instead of canceling the cycle (which I remember was a very real possibility), I was able to make it to retrieval day. Fast forward to now, I am 32-weeks pregnant with a so-far healthy baby boy. Thank God.The office is clean and there is a peacefulness within it that I believe exudes from the staff and overflows into the environment. It was so wonderful and comforting to see the same friendly faces every week:- Jessal at the front desk, always kind and greeting me by name- Alejandra, also so sweet and kind, always available and willing to lend an ear and answer my dozens of financial questions- Victoria, who often settled me into the exam room, drew blood, remembered and followed up with me about whatever I was venting about during my last visit- nurse Tamar who was present every appointment, patient with me whenever I had questions or concerns, was so responsive via e-mail or phone, and literally held my hand as I was put to sleep on my retrieval day.- Dr. Elassar, who I describe to my family and friends as a genius, both straight-forward, tells you like it is, a total expert in her field AND absolutely thoughtful, caring and loving all at the same time.If you have made it this far in my review, I can assume that you are contemplating on becoming a patient here. I can tell you without a doubt in my mind, it was the best decision I made for myself and my future family. I would like to think that even if my one and only IVF cycle failed, I still received the best and personalized care that I could have received in NYC. EVERYTHING that my coworker said was true about this place.I thank God for all of you at NYCIVF. I thank God for not just what you do but HOW you do it. Thank you for giving me a chance at becoming a mother and being wonderful, compassionate human beings throughout the process. In a world where genuine compassionate healthcare is so hard to find (sad to say), you are a God-given breath of fresh air.
So far I am at the start of my journey with the clinic, and they have been very responsive and professional. Dr. Elassar has answered all of my questions and been quite flexible in arranging tests, since I am in another country. Ms. Alejandra Castillo at reception was also very accommodating, friendly and easy to reach.
I’ve been with NYC IVF for several years. At first, I had IUI successfully on the first try but learned that the baby had severe chromosomal abnormalities and lost that pregnancy. With the support of Dr Elassar and her amazing team in the front and back in the embryo lab, we began the egg retrieval process. This was the most emotional part of the journey for us bc we did not learn of any healthy embryos until the third retrieval’s genetic testing results came back. On the fourth retrieval we got another solid two that tested healthy chromosomally. I want to share this detail with everyone because I know it can be very frustrating, emotional, and expensive to go through this process and there were people telling us we should try another clinic. That was not something we wanted to do. The care and attention we received with Dr Elassar and her team was worth everything. Dr Elassar takes each patient protocol and works so friggin hard to figure out what will work best for each patient. I rarely had to wait for my appointments, and Tamar, best nurse ever, was available to me around the clock. I once called her at 9pm and she answered right away to help me figure out my meds. Here’s another reason why I think NYC IVF beats other clinics. Dr Elassar will listen to her patients and change protocols to work with patient needs. When it was time for us to transfer our embryo, i could not sustain the side effects and physical impact of the progesterone injections. Dr Elassar allowed me to switch to a natural cycle. Some IVF clinics do not allow this! The first natural transfer failed but I advocated to increase use of endometrin on the second attempt of transfer. I don’t know if that helped or not but again, Dr Elassar was supportive and the implantation was successful. I became pregnant with a healthy chromosome tested embryo. My journey with IVF has been emotional at times and Dr Elassar and her team really gave me space to grieve when I needed to but actually I have a lot more memories laughing with everyone. They have really become family, and I look forward to seeing everyone. This journey has been amazing thanks to everyone at NYC IVF, and I definitely recommend them!
I was referred to NYC IVF and another fertility clinic by my ob-gyn. I chose to go to NYC IVF even though they did not accept my insurance and the other clinic did. Im so glad I made that decision because Dr. Elassar and her team at the office were all very clear and communicative, made me feel extremely comfortable, and did a great job of really personalizing my treatments. Their office is also clean and beautiful, everyone tried to be helpful, but more than anything else, they were successful. I am now 9 weeks pregnant after my first IUI procedure with them. I highly recommend this fertility clinic.
Dr. Elassar is both, a wonderful physician and a person. She helped us conceive our baby and was supportive throughout the process! She responded always to my queries and I felt I was always heard. Her team is also very considerate and helpful! Highly recommend her clinic!
Dr. Elassar and her team are amazing! I am currently pregnant with my second baby boy thanks to her. I was always very comfortable in her office and knew I was in the best hands. She always explained everything to me and I never left confused. Even on the hardest days everyone in the office always made me feel better and informed. I don’t know where I would be without dr. Elassar, I am so grateful for her. I referred my two close friends to her as well and they were both equally satisfied and pleased with their experiences. I cannot recommend NYC IVF enough, they really are the best.
My whole experience with Dr. Elassar was truly amazing. Besides being a brilliant doctor she is also an incredibly supportive and kind person. Her whole team, from the front desk to the nurses, are a bunch of really fabulous people who were always there supporting me and rooting me on.After 2 failed IVF rounds at RMA of NY it was time for a change and Dr. Elassar was a breath of fresh air. No waiting rooms filled to the brim. No seeing a different doctor every visit. No being treated like a number. Dr. Elassar gives you an exceptional personalized experience and makes you feel like you are her only patient.She did all my monitoring, she followed up with results, she did my egg retrieval and embryo transfer. She also gives hugs when needed. From the first consultation, I felt so lucky to have found Dr. Elassar. She spent quite a while with my husband and I going through almost every detail of my previous IVF cycles explaining things to me that my previous Doctor had not.After one round of IFV with her I’m am a proud mom of twins!! She is truly an incredible person and doctor. Im beyond grateful for her.
Dr Elassar and her team are the best , very orginized knowledgable and skillful team .although the stress you may have during the process,Dr Alyaa and her team will be able to make everything easy and smooth .this is the 2nd time we do IVF with dr Alyaafirst time i had a baby girl and this time i am a 12 weeks pregnant so far :) .Dr alyaa and her team responded always to my queries and i always get an answer to my questions .i highly recommend NYC IVFthank you for everything
Dr. Elassar is one of the best doctor I know for ivf treatment. As I and my wife went them for consultation and I like how they give me briefly explanations for my treatment. They make impossible things possible as I was not having hope for my first baby but they made this happen and now my wife is pregnant with our first baby. The staff is so friendly and dr. Elassar and team members treated us like aa family. I have made best decision to choose dr. Elassar for our treatment .
There will never be enough words that I could say to describe the care I went through with Dr. Elassar and her team. I started seeing Dr. Elassar in March 2019, I still remember my first visit with her. My first consultation lasted a good 45mts. I had already been to 3 other fertility clinics before coming to meet with Dr. Elassar. I never felt what I felt at this clinic. I can honestly say none of them can compare. Dr. Elassar and her team are one of kind.Fast forward to 2022 - I owe Dr. Elassar & her team so much. They never gave up on me and I never gave up on them. I was so scared to transfer my last embryo but I went through with it of course with a bit of encouragement from Dr. Elassar. I am pregnant now; 12 weeks today all tests have been normal and I still at times cant believe it - it truly is a miracle.I miss Dr. Elassar so much and her team. I can never EVER repay them for their care. NYC IVF is truly one of a kind. Trust me when I tell you that you are in the best hands possible. She will make it happen for you. There will be hard times but at the end it was all be worth it.
Dr. Elassar and her team are amazing! They are incredibly thorough, caring and responsive. I cannot recommend her practice enough. They made the experience more comfortable than I could have ever expected. Tremendously grateful for the team for taking such good care of me during this process.
My initial consultation with Dr. Elassar was very informative. She was very positive with my desires and made me feel very optimistic for my journey. I also enjoyed the staff and the ambiance of the clinic. It felt very welcoming.
I highly recommend NYC IVFSkilled organized team and always there for you.Whenever you have a question you will have them try to explain everything simple and smooth .Dr Alyaa is very knowledgeable and talented . She knows what she is doing and you will always feel that she is ready for the next step .We really appreciate the services we received from Dr Elassar and her team .Thank you so much :)
I found Dr. Elassar after some frustrating experience with a different IVF doctor somewhere, and the moment I sat down with her, I knew that Id be in good hand. She was professional but also personal, she always encouraged me, my husband and even my worrying parents, who came with me on one of the visits after my failed first try. Her confidence, kindness and knowledge really help me through this difficult time, which is exactly what a woman who put herself through such process needs. On a side note, all the nurses and the front desk staff were always such sweet hearts, the whole office had a positive and at ease vibe whenever I was there.
My partner and I feel lucky it have found Dr. Elassar and her amazing team. From the day we met, Dr. Elassar was frank, she reviewed the different treatment options, but with my age, 41 going on 42 next month, she recommended the best treatment for success. At the same visit, I met with the nurse and the financial liaison. They clearly outlined the whole process and provided written materials. They are very organized, which is important to me being in the medical profession. Having a well informed patient with written material to reference is important.It’s a small team, but that made it feel so personal, you see the same faces at each visit. They are courteous and so nice.The team is very quick to respond to any email communication. You never feel alone throughout this process. The entire office and surgical suite are well maintained and clean.I recommend if you can, go for PGT. For my age, I had a good amount of eggs reach day 5 however PGT revealed most would never reach successful pregnancy. I had 2 egg retrievals and recently had my 1st successful transfer. Next week will be my last visit with Dr. Elassar and team. I will miss working with them but hope to see them next year for another transfer.
Here, i will not cite the successful job doctor Alya is realizing with me, But rather the human side of This angel who fights for my dream, treats me as one of her relatives. I feel as if i’m the only and unique patient she deals with.She listens to me, gives me unlimited time, I never feel rush during my consultation and she goes through every small detail I have, words can’t describe how thankful I’m for her.She has a dream team that makes you so comfortable, the beautiful Tamar very friendly, Victoria Alejandra, haty….just love them all.I highly recommend her,
Dr. Elassar is one of the greatest doctors I have met over our long infantility road...the whole office is great actually- from the girl at the front desk to every nurse that I ever met. Dr. Elassar is understanding, thoroughly cares for her patients and to her every detail matters. Every blood work came the same day. She was precise, honest and gave me options...and most of all she treated me like a human! I recommend her 1000%
Dr. Elassar is a brilliant doctor! She is a very supportive and warm person. All our questions were answered and our concerns were addressed. Her whole team is very professional and accommodating. Every visit was a positiv and uplifting experience. We have been blessed with two healthy children and one more on the way, all thanks to Dr. Elassar and Dr. Azim. We couldn’t be more grateful to NYCIVF. We highly recommend Dr. Elassar to everyone who is struggling with infertility.
NYC IVF team is really best. Dr Elassar and team helped me through whole journey. The reception team is really great especially accommodating my appointments. One of the best thing I liked here is all my queries were Answered on the same day by dr and team. That is some thing u may not see in other places.Overall all my experience was good.
First is first, all the team at NYCIVF are professional and beautifully caring and the entire center includes waiting, conference and surgical suites are very well maintained and clean, it’s really important to notice that in a medical center.CANNOT Thank all the staff especially Dr. Elassar for all the professionalism procedures. Me &My wife had a miracle from God through NYCIVF, it’s really your dream will come TRUE.I do really recommend NYCIVF for all small families to become bigger family in only3-4 months.Good luck to allThanks beautiful NYCIVF team
There is no doctor nor practice on earth that I have cherished more than Dr. Elassar and her wonderful team at NYCIVF. Dr. Elassar is the most attentive, caring and kind doctor Ive ever had (across any practice), and if I could have a Dr. Elassar for every health issue, I would. Every aspect of their care is individualized and personalized. You will never feel rushed or like a cog in a machine as many other fertility clinics can make you feel. She and her team turn what can be a challenging and emotional process into one that feels warm, loving and hopeful. She is truly an expert at what she does and I recommend her to everyone and anyone seeking the best possible fertility experience.
Dr Elassar is amazing doctor i must say with my experience she knows what she is doing she is not rushing to anything but making sure every step is done properly. i had failed ivf cycle a year ago with other clinic with alot experinced doctors not complaining about doctor but difference i see in here is Dr. make sure each and every step is done properly. i have any issue i emailed them at mid night or weekends i get answer from doctor herself or Tammar within few hours.highly recommended.
Incredibly brilliant and extraordinarily kind--Dr. Elassar is there every step of the fertility journey, from the initial scans, treatment options, and medications, through all of the subsequent appointments, retrievals, and transfers. It is an emotionally taxing process, and she continually lightens the burden through her warmth and compassion. We never doubted that she was providing us with the best possible care and treatment, and we are thankful every day that she was our doctor.The staff is also amazing--helpful and encouraging and extremely flexible with regards to scheduling your (many) appointments. I cannot recommend the whole practice highly enough.
I cannot put in words how greatful I am to Dr Elassar and her team of angels. After seeing several doctors and feeling much like cattle being herded in generic clinical settings, I found NYC IVF. From the moment I called for and appointment I was treated with care and compassion. Dr Elassar herself is incredibly talented, caring and warm. Her staff, are gentle, efficient and mavericks with needles (thank you Racquel!). I did not have an easy path, but NYC IVF was with me literally holding my hand every step of the way. And it made all the difference. I am a mom to a perfect little girl thanks to Dr Elassar. I could not recommend her more!
I had an amazing experience at NYC IVF. They were kind, efficient, and incredibly skilled. I also was comforted by how available they were throughout the process. A friend of mine was freezing her eggs at the same time as me and she also had more hiccups and last minute changes than I did - there were no surprises during my freezing or the retrieval afterwards and we got more eggs than I was even hoping for. Plus, central location is a MUST when youre going to be visiting the doctor every other day so the proximity to my office was a huge perk!
It is hard to put into words how incredible Dr Elassar and team are. The support, encouragement and personalized care was incredible. I am still amazed at how invested the team was in our success. We are forever grateful for the beautiful girl we now treasure, and look forward to the next journey with NYC IVF for baby number two.
I can recommend this clinic from my experience since I did my treatment there and thank God and all the professional team my dream came true since I had been fighting from doctor to doctor for 2 years and in this clinic all my suffering It ended up being 3 months late to get pregnant and I am very happy because the workers were very kind all the time and always taking care of me. It was an unforgettable experience. Right now I am 9 weeks pregnant
In the heart of Manhattan is a hidden gem, a magical place that creates life each day… nyc ivf - proudly woman owned and woman run. Dr Elassar leads this mission with empathy and expertise. She is the best doctor I have known. Partnering with her is the most amazing embryologist, Carlo, who does the most incredible magic in the lab, delivering the best results. And the lab is in the clinic, right next to the OR, so you can rest assured that your embabies get to mama with zero commute. Together, Dr Elassar and Carlo are the winning team. Under their care, I went through one egg retrieval and two successful transfers. I hope that you will take the time to meet with Dr Elassar and get your journey to parenthood on the winning path.
Dr. Elassar and her entire team are beyond wonderful. After a negative and disappointing experience with another doctor (difficulty egg freezing), my experience with Dr. Elassar was more than I could have ever expected. Dr. Elassar came highly recommended, and I completely understand why. From the first time I visited the office, I was welcomed by name (not a number like the previous clinic I went to), treated like a friend, my journey was their journey. Dr. Elassar personally performed my ultrasounds every single visit, I wasnt passed around from nurse to nurse. Dr. Elassar comforted me let us take on the stress for you, and they did exactly that. I felt at home and at ease in this beautiful office. My success was their success. When do you ever miss going to see a doctor?! Only Dr. Elassars office! I would highly recommend to anyone seeking fertility treatment, Dr. Elassar is the best there is. I feel so lucky to have bee her patient for 2 successful rounds of egg freezing. +Dr. Elassars office is filled with female staff and diversity. Thank you so much!
I can’t say enough good things about Dr. Elassar and her team. I’ve been to 2 doctors prior to her and the experience was night and day. She took her time to listen to my husband and i about our experiences and offered professional advice on how and why she would recommend different treatment. We are now at the last stages of this process - and while it’s been a tough road, the team here is nothing but supportive. While I don’t have a success story to share (yet!) I wanted to leave this review in case anyone is on the fence. It’s easy to give a great review when you have results. But despite me being in the middle of treatment I can say this is a top notch place.Clean, great follow ups and the team really cares.
Dr. Elassar is so kind and compassionate. I felt like I received personalized care with her. She lead me through the entire process. I completely trust Dr. Elassar with all of my fertility needs and I would highly recommend her.
I am very grateful to the whole Team of this clinic. They are truly professionals. They surrounded me with care and attention. Constantly in touch, which is important when u have a lot of questions and concerns. I wish them prosperity and good clients! With love, Sia 🤍
Amazing everything. First of all, we got pregnant with twins in the first month! Obviously that is not going to be everyones experience, but beyond the results, everyone was extremely helpful and available for all my questions in person and by email. The staff were all knowledgeable. They did tons of tests, ultrasounds, and follow ups to make sure I got pregnant and stayed pregnant. They kept seeing me until I was 8 weeks, which is one of the best parts because unlike most pregnancies where you are worried about miscarriage but have no updates until youre allowed to see an obgyn at 8 weeks, I was getting updates basically every week and could see we had a healthy pregnancy all along. The service was also very prompt. We had lots of appointments, and I almost never had to wait more than a minute or two. The only part that we had an issue with was their on site semen collection always seemed overbooked, but for the lady parts, it was always a breeze. Staff is also very COVID-safe. Everyone wore masks, and there were procedures in place that made me feel safe but did not take away from the service or experience. Even billing was super easy--their billing staff handled everything with my insurance company, and I hardly had to think about it. They were very upfront about what I would pay, and I was never charged anything more. And again, we were pregnant with twins within one month of seeing them!
This team is incredible - responsive, communicative, supportive, patient in answering questions. You send an email and you get a prompt response back - making you feel engaged and in the loop throughout the process. Its a stressful process and you want someone who is on your team every step of the way, which they all were. I was sad to switch doctors and leave the office, but happy because I am now 12-weeks pregnant!
Deciding to write about my struggles with infertility was not an easy decision for me to make. I remember that while struggling to get pregnant, I felt so ashamed. Time was not on our side so we decided to seek outside help. We did so discreetly because the shame I felt was so real and so stinging. I walked into Dr. Elassars office feeling defeated, hoping that she would be able to help but truly feeling as though I was not destined to be a mother. From the moment I stepped into Dr. Elassars office, I felt like I was taken care of. The shame of not being able to conceive was still there but what was slowly disappearing was this feeling of helplessness. At our first meeting, Dr. Elsasar laid out a plan that provided me with a roadmap for the possibility of one day becoming a mom, which in turn provided me with a glimmer of hope. Dr. Elassar was optimistic, but most importantly, she was also realistic. Seeking out IVF, you hear countless horror stories of women being mistreated, misdiagnosed, and offered false hope. This was never the case with Dr. Elassar. She struck the very fine balance between providing hope but also recognizing that IVF is not ever a sure thing.One moment that stands out in particular to me was after my first egg transfer. I went through one round of IVF with Dr. Elassar and the egg retreival was successful. We had eggs to transfer and eggs to freeze. We transferred the best egg first. I was crushed when it didnt take. Contrary to popular belief, it is possible to be a little bit pregnant and thats exactly what happened my first time around. The egg had taken and I was pregnant but it wasnt a viable pregnancy. I had a chemical pregnancy and lost the baby. I was shocked and saddened. Dr. Elassar herself had called me to deliver the news and my only solace was found in her. She delivered the news but it was what she did after that will always stay with me. She said Sandra, I know you are sad but I am so hopeful. I am so sorry about this but please do know that we are going to try again. We talked for about 20 minutes, a level of care I have not experienced with any other doctor I have ever seen. She went above and beyond again when I returned to the office after the chemical pregnancy for follow up blood work. I can tell youre sad Sandra. Please dont be sad. We will try again. She then spent the next 40 minutes stepping out of her doctor role and instead spoke to me like someone who was devastated to have just failed their first transfer. It was truly one of the most humane ways to treat a woman so vulnerable. I imagine it would be very easy for a doctor to ignore this vulnerability and the uncomfortable messiness of patient emotions. That is not Dr. Elassars style. I have no doubt there are many doctors knowledgable about the IVF process. I do however doubt, that a doctor like Dr. Elssar is so rare to find in this field. You will not be a number to her. You will not be the number of eggs you are able to produce. She sees you as your own unique individual - vulnerabilities and all. And how important is it to be seen as your own unique person through one of the most vulnerable moments in a womans life? For me, tremendously important.I can never thank Dr. Elassar and her staff enough. She did make me a mom. I have two children - a rambunctious, lively, and sweet, two year old boy and his extremely calm, go with the flow, opinionated sister. This mothers day, Dr. Elassar emailed me directly to wish me a happy mothers day and I was not surprised. She remembers everything about your case, she answered each of my emails no matter what time I emailed her, her staff always being there, during my sad moment and my successes that came after. I dont know how to ever thank them and Dr. Elassar. There are no words to describe my happiness. Ill end by saying that if you are looking for a human to human connection with someone who is also extremely knowledgeable about the IVF process, please see Dr. Elassar. They will always take care of you.
Both my daughter and son were conceived with the help of Dr. Alyaa Elassar. She is the kindest, warmest, most encouraging doctor you will meet—she treats you as if you are her only patient and not just another face in a stream of people. From scans to bloodwork, I saw her at every single appointment. She made the whole daunting process so much easier, and I cannot imagine having gone to another clinic where patients are treated like cattle. My family will forever be grateful to Dr. Elassar and NYC IVF.
I couldnt have asked for a better experience freezing my eggs than at NYC IVF - Dr Elassar and her team are incredible. Highly recommend them!
